«En el trineu de Schopenhauer» is the novel by Yasmina Reza, published by Editorial Empúries in paperback (80 pages, in Catalan).
In 1980 Louis Althusser strangles his wife Hélène. Ariel Chipman, a philosophy professor and his disciple, enters a crisis. Eight monologues give voice to the characters to tell their fears, desires and failures: the chronicle of a depression becomes a critique of a generation's values and a reflection on death and the passage of time.
Translation from French by Ramón Faura Coll. The work belongs to the Anagrama/Empúries collection and was published in 2006.
For readers of contemporary fiction and literature in Catalan.
